Anyone’s Guess

It's time I told you the story 'bout a boy that I know
I don't tell it that often, it gets stuck in my throat
Loved every inch of his home from the fields to the coast
His older brother's his hero, but now he's his ghost
Seventeen half a child, he's holding on by a thread
Made the choice to make his brother proud, no fucks what anyone says
I'm still that boy who left town cause if he stayed he'd be dead
As to where he's at now, well, that's anyone's guess

Mh, that's anyone's guess
That's anyone's guess

I turned it into a game to try make sense of it all
Maybe when they sing my name then I won't hurt anymore
But I'm no happier brother, than I was before
I traded my sanity all for a round of applause
So, gimme your worst, break a bone or two
Nobody beats the shit outta me quite the way that I do
It'll all work out, that's what everyone says
Could you tell he was down? Nah, that was anyone's guess

Mh, that was anyone's guess
That was anyone's guess

I stopped believing in Jesus after watching the news
Show me one fucking reason there's people dying for food
We watch it like it's a show, we know the button's been pressed
As to when the bomb falls, well, that's anyone's guess
I tried singing to live, I tried drinking to death
I write songs to remember, I write songs to forget
Maybe you're gone, when you're gone, maybe I'll see him again
Is there a rhyme to it all? Fuck it, that's anyone's guess

Yeah, that's anyone's guess
That's anyone's
Is there a rhyme to it all? Fuck it, that's anyone's guess
Yeah, that's anyone's guess, oh

Maybe the answer was always right in front of my face
I'll be asking these questions to the end of my days
I'll keep tripping myself, and I'll keep making mistakes
I'll be falling down seven then standing up eight
And when they lower me down in the town that I left
Bury me with my family, carry on and forget
In the end there was love, nothing more nothing less
And the big ever after? That's anyone's guess
